Adhesive Not Sticking
Common Symptoms:
- Premature lifting at edges
- System shifts during daily activities
- Reduced wear time between maintenance
Pro Tip
For maximum bond strength, apply system in a cool, dry environment and maintain pressure for 5 minutes after placement.
Step-by-Step Solutions
Prepare the Scalp
Clean with 99% alcohol to remove all oils, sweat, and residue. Ensure complete dryness before application.
Use Recommended Products
Only use Halo Hair-approved adhesives and tapes designed for your specific base material.
Proper Application Technique
Apply adhesive evenly in thin layers. Wait 2-3 minutes for optimal tackiness before placement.
Environmental Factors
High humidity may require stronger adhesives. Avoid excessive sweating for first 24 hours.
Hair Shedding or Tangling
Common Symptoms:
- Hair in comb after brushing
- Knots forming at nape area
- Reduced density over time
Pro Tip
Lightly spray detangling solution before combing. Regular deep conditioning treatments reduce shedding by 60%.
Step-by-Step Solutions
Gentle Detangling
Always use a wide-tooth comb starting from ends, working upward. Never brush when hair is wet.
Proper Washing Technique
Use sulfate-free products. Gently massage in one direction. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Conditioning Care
Apply conditioner mid-shaft to ends only. Use leave-in conditioner between washes.
Storage Solution
When not wearing, store on mannequin head with hair neatly braided or covered.
Lace or Base Damage
Common Symptoms:
- Visible tears along hairline
- Stretching or warping of base
- Hair coming out through base
Pro Tip
Apply lace front sealer to reinforce edges before first wear. This extends lace life by 40-50%.
Step-by-Step Solutions
Gentle Removal
Use professional solvent spray. Never pull or twist. Work slowly from edges inward.
Proper Handling
Always handle by edges, never grab hair to move system. Use both hands for support.
Storage Protection
Keep away from sharp objects. Store flat or on rounded surface to prevent creasing.

Discomfort or Irritation

Pro Tip

Tension Management
Avoid wearing too tight. System should feel secure but not constricting.
Skin Protection
Use hypoallergenic scalp protector. Allow to dry completely before adhesive application.
Breaks & Rotation
Give scalp 8-12 hour breaks between wears. Rotate between multiple systems if possible.
